Hi folks.
I am trying to fit a new head temp sensor to my 1.7. I cannot find a way to get a new one in place! Any suggestions as to tricks as to how to do it? I am getting desperate now!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I took a cheap 3/8" extension (2"), cut a slot up one of the corners on the male end, large enough for the wire to fit into (it is a small wire so it isn't a big slot. I used a dremel to cut the slot but I suppose you could even grind one of the corners. Put the sensor in your socket and position the wire in the appropriate corner where your extension will go in and install (with some anti-seize). The slot really doesn't appreciably weaken the extension for other use but I used a cheapie HF one.
Might also want to use a drop of crazy glue on the crush washer to keep it from falling off the sensor when installing. Good luck, Keith Good luck. |
